What I said was open was closed and vice versa as far as stops are conserned. Comments welcom and apreciated -Gabe-

Ah! That's right, you use slide film... [How did she manage to hold the exact same pose?] For exposure, #3 is the "best" as no significant shadow or highlight is lost. Skin color and tone seem correct. Slightly underexposed slides tend to have better saturation. As final result --depends on mood you want to set. I sort of like #1. 'Prolly what I'd do is go with #3 and manipulate in Photoshop for intended mood.

Hi misha, good to meet you. I find it funny that you said that about the slide film, because you are right, this however, was shot digital with an S1 pro. Though I have found that the color saturation is affected in the S1 the same as fuji slide films. I also tend to lean twards the first one, but I don't really know which to submit. -Gabe-

I like #3 most, because it looks more dramatic. Light matches the facial expression of the model. IMHO, anyway. :-) (*

I like #2 best, feels like just the right exposure, #1 is too much, and I feel #3 is too dark! Great shots all of them, but I prefer the first! Take care, lovely image sequence! Love Cat xXxXx

Prefer the #1 her expression is perfect for this light overexposure....

We have a three way split here... OK?

I like the exposure of #3 and I like the tighter crop on the right removing the bolts and mess of the post but you have got to crop the hanging basket from above her head. One little thing that might lift this is a little light in the eyes you can get this using a reflector on front of her. hope this helps. :O)
